In the previous post, we learned that Peter deserted grace
and returned to the law for righteousness.
He reverted to the law, following its mandate for a Jew to
not mix with the Gentiles so the nation of Israel would not abandon God by
following the false gods of the Gentile nations.
They were not to eat with or marry Gentiles.
The nation of Israel was to be a light to the Gentiles by
revealing the truth about God.
When Jesus came, he was the light to the Gentiles.
Through his death, Jesus ended the Law of Moses, enabling
Jews and Gentiles to assemble in on body. |

As we have discovered, the Galatian people at one time fully and joyfully embraced grace and where thankful to Paul for teaching them about grace.
It filled them with joy to know that righteousness (being clean and pure before God, declared innocent of breaking the Ten Commandments, thus enabling them to have eternal life in God’s kingdom) was by grace through faith in Jesus.
Yet, when certain men came to Galatia from Jerusalem, they convinced the Galatian people that righteousness was not given by God as a free gift but must be earned by following the Law of Moses. |
